The Marriott Boston Customs House (aka “The Boston Clock Tower”) is actually one of the city’s very first skyscrapers. It was the tallest building in Boston from 1915 to 1965. This iconic 492-foot structure has been a central part of the Boston skyline for over 100 years. 


But did you know there is an observation deck at the top? The views are simply amazing! Here's what you need to know about how to get a birds eye view of Boston from the Custom House Observation Deck.

The top of the tower is open & accessible to the public during limited hours. A fenced-in area surrounds the deck allowing visitors a view of the city from all sides.


Customs House Observation Deck Tours - *Reserve in Advance*

Timing is everything when visiting this venue, as the 26th-floor observation deck is only open once daily (at 2:00 pm 6 days a week with the exception of Fridays), and weather permitting, so its a bit of a roulette play. But well worth it if the stars align for you.


Registration is required 48 hours in advance by calling 617-310-6300 (x4 - front desk). No back packs are allowed, and there are now only 8 people allowed per reservation.
